Dream Big - Summer Reading Recap!

A look back at what we having been doing at the Honey Brook Community Library all summer!

Phil Witman brought in baby possums that he rescued when the mother was hit by a car.  They are about 4 weeks old in these pictures.  He plans to release them back into the wild.  This was part of our "Nocturnal Animals" for Nature Mornings. He had them in a pouch and then tucked into a box.  So cute!!






There are 4 baby possums in that sack.

We will be having a costume contest for kids 0-5 yrs old and 6-12 yrs old. We have some cool Star Wars prizes so be creative!  All ages are welcome to dress up.  We will be in our finest Jedi outfits defending the library from the Empire's rule.

We were told to expect about 200 people, so this will be held in a tent in front of the library.  You will want to bring a chair or blanket. Car pooling is recommended or park at the Honey Brook elementary school and walk over.

We are sooooo excited to have this event be a part of our "Dream Big!" Summer Reading for 2012.  I am a Star Wars geek by marriage, and I am so glad that we can bring this event to the Honey Brook Library!
